It seems she’s decided to switch things up once again.

The royal captured attention only recently when she debuted a lighter hair colour at a viist to the Natural History Museum in London on September 4.

Some dubbed the new colour “bronde” or “blondette” during the royal engagement, where she and Prince William joined children in promotion of the museum’s Urban Nature Movement initiative.

Kate’s hair was not only blonde, it was longer and noticeably teased, giving it extra height at the roots.

The new look didn’t last long, with Catherine reverting to her darker brunette roots a week later.

She stuck with the brunette style for a few months until debuting the lighter look today.

Hair aside, Catherine’s visit to the Anna Freud Centre was to “discuss the vital role of relationships and connection in shaping babies, children and young people’s future life outcomes”.
